*chin drops to floor* *picks chin up and closes mouth* Oh my goodness. I was not expecting that. Wow.

After this week, I think I needed this. Apparently, the judges didn't even mind my frowning and smiling cups, which I didn't notice until 2 days ago.

AND I just got another bit of good news too! I'm getting the Friday after Thanksgiving off at work, for the first time in three years. So I won't have to take a personal day now. It has been a very good and happy day for me! *big grin*

Also, a big CONGRATS to all the other EC winners this week, too! WOOHOO!

Oh wow! I almost didn't enter because I've been so busy/stressed with my mother's illness, but I woke with a strong urge to put down these thoughts into words. I didn't even have time to write my usual precise rhythm and rhyme poem. I just let my heart thoughts flow.

I had barely finished when got a call from the hospital saying there was an emergency, so without proofing, I submitted it. It amazes me how God can "write" through me. These were the thoughts that He wanted me to say. I hope they will bless someone who needs "A Drop of Water."

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 NLT
